tj luv: soy chorizo

If you haven't already guessed, I love Trader Joe's. The only one in the area is about 20 minutes away, so I only make it there about once a month. Whenever I do, I'm sure to stock up on goodies.

On my last trip, i got some "TJ's Soy Chorizo" to try. I'm not a fan of meat "replacements;" however, this one is exceptionally delicious. The seasoning is just right. Simply saute it for a minute, then put in on chili (like I did last week), or in quesadillas (like I did this week), or in enchiladas (like I will do sometime in the near future).
Makes 1, or perhaps 2, servings
Saute in a little oil for ten minutes
1/4 of white onion, sliced
1/2 link (1/4 package) of TJ's Soy Chorizo, casing removed
1/2 tomato, chopped
1 jalapeno, diced (though the chorizo by itself is pretty spicy)

Set mixture aside. In the same skillet, place one tortilla, then layer
2 T of cheddar cheese or more (I'm a health nut, so I like to keep my cheese consumption at check)
Chorizo Mixture
a haldful of fresh spinach
Top with tortilla that's been spread with
Refried Black Beans
Flip quesadilla (or whatever this thing is) by inverting on plate, then sliding back onto pan.
Cut in quarter, top with
Dollop of Fat Free Sour Cream
Cholula Hot Sauce
